“The County government has secured 20 acres of land near Kwa Kathoka and set aside 10 million to fence the new waste Management site,” said Dr. Nzilani on Thursday at Ndue Nguu, Wote dumpsite during a cleaning exercise.

 “We have cleaned three major towns in Makueni, including Kathonzweni, Emali and Wote municipality in partnership with various organizations and stakeholders,” added Dr. Nzilani.

She said they have collected garbage in the towns while sensitizing people on the importance of a clean and safe environment.
